I am a Biochemist and a snake breeder and I understand your confusion Celt, because in the snake world the rules of scientific nomenclature are often thrown out the window, usually naming it is a visual phenotype judgement call, because nothing is known at the time as to what is going on at a molecular genetics level. So sometimes what is called one is maybe really the other ect, ect. Also as you know many many morphs now have zero scientific nomenclature basis to charaterize the genetics, they are simply "catchy" and "cool" marketing "buzz words"
The ball python morph naming is way ahead of science, but the corn snake world is in much better shape and more in line, as I believe Paul eluded to, look to corn snakes as better examples.
